After a warmer than usual winter and an early rainy season, mosquitoes are out in full force in Georgia right now. Mosquitoes breed best in humid and wet climates, especially in locations with ample standing water. We can expect to see a dramatic increase in the mosquito population as temperatures and humidity levels rise.
Massey Services, the nation’s fifth largest pest prevention company, offers these tips to help you prepare for and avoid mosquitoes this season:
- Make sure all windows and doors in your home are closed tightly and that screens are well-sealed to prevent mosquitoes from getting inside.
- Avoid working or playing outdoors at dawn or dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- When you are outdoors, wear insect repellant that includes DEET as an active product.
- Discard water on a weekly basis from any item in your back yard such as toys, bird baths, pools
